I think a lot of these women have a dearth of anything else going on in their lives causing them to spend hours defending MM so passionately. It's not like they have outside world friendships or relationships to distract them, or anything else to do, frankly.

Tbf the only extremist here rn is the person calling people poor/fat/trashy and then saying she's posting this thread on other sites to get it brigaded.

You dont even realize you're an extremist. You're sooooo mad at someone calling out your very trailer park sounding speech patterns that you dont even realize how crazy y'all look to outsiders. That's why youre mad at the idea of this place being linked anywhere else

Isn't her legal name Rachel Markle? Megan is her middle name. That's not really cosplaying.

The point is her legal name is not actually Sussex as was claimed in a huge moment on the show.

She didn't make any claim about her legal name, she just stated that she identifies as "Sussex" not Markle. And then provided an explanation as to why. The fact that some of you are flipping out about this says much more about you than her.

I don't even think it was a "huge moment" on the show. It was a very brief conversation. YOU have made it a huge moment because for some reason it's very important to you that Meghan be forced to use her maiden name forever even if she doesn't want to, which is deranged.

But it's not her maiden name, lol. It's her current legal name, and the name of her kids as well. They have "Markle" on their birth certificate. At no point did she ever change their name to Sussex, which would be very bizarre considering it's no one's legal name in the family.

It is definitively her maiden name. Some women keep their maiden name. It sounds like Meghan does not want to keep hers but that there may be an issue with what she changes it to because the naming conventions in her husband's family are weird.

But I don't think it would be "bizarre" in that situation to simply legally change everyone's last name to Sussex.

This is actually a relatable problem to me because I had issues with my name when I got married and it was also hard to get people to call me by my new name (hyphenated) because people are stubborn and weird. The whole thing winds up being political and annoying when, hello, it's my name and you should call me what I tell you my name is. I did ultimately change my name legally but it took a while and in the meantime, I 100% expected people to call me by my newly adopted name, not my maiden name. So I'm totally on Meghan's side here. It is not some "gotcha" that her chosen name may not be her legal name. That's paperwork. Call people what they ask to be called or GTFO.

In any case, it is her current name, and the current name of her children. There is no legal precedent for her to change her name to Sussex. Of course she could, in the same way I could march down to the courthouse and change mine to Sussex. But it would be pretty bizarre of both myself and MM to do that considering it's not our legal name in any sense.

No, it would be normal for the Duchess of Sussex to change her and her kid's legal US names to Sussex as a way to simplify their names. People often make choices like this when navigating marital name conflicts or immigration naming issues.

It would be totally deranged for you to do so, as you are not the Duchess of Sussex.

I think this is why you are so mad, actually.

Considering that Sussex is NOT a last name and the name of a geographical area, yes it would be pretty deranged. But yeah, maybe everyone should just change their name to it and we can all have a good laugh.

The point is Meghan herself claimed that her name is Sussex. But ahe apparently does not use the name legally? It is very weird. I am going to change my name to "Princess Diana" but not legally. It will just be the name I declare for myself.

On the show, she claimed it is the name of her and the kids.

And that's why people are mad... because that is factually a lie.

She said it was their family name. It is their family name.

I know people who invented their family name by combining their last names when they married and then giving their kids this made-up last name. People can do what they want.

So what you are saying is I can just pick a name for my "family name" and that name does nor actually have to be my name according to any legal document. Wow, cool.

Yeah. Why not tell everyone you are "Larla Devonshire" while you're at it. Heck, we should all pick some random town in England and just insist everyone call us that. Why not?

I'm sorry you are so very wrong. Here is Debretts, the British experts on etiquette and convention within the British aristocracy, on the matter:

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex can, and do, use the ‘surname’ Sussex. This is in line with the time when Prince Harry used Wales as his surname whilst serving in the army, to reflect that he was the son of the (then) Prince of Wales. Now that he is the Duke of Sussex, his wife and children can, and do, use Sussex as a surname."

https://debretts.com/royal-family/the-royal-family/the-royal-surname/

Meghan and Harry are part of the British royal family who do not, traditionally, even have last names. However in recent centuries they have created surnames from house names -- Windsor and Mountbatten are both house names that were styled as the surname "Mountbatten-Windsor" for family members, for instance. Windsor is not technically a last name either, but the name of a place, just like Sussex. And yet it is a surname used by family members for some time now.

Harry and his brother both used Wales as a surname in school and in the military. Williams kids now you Wales as their surname at school. Sophie has used the name Essex as a surname since she was Duchess of Essex, and is still sometimes referred to as Sophie Essex in the press even though technically she is now the Duchess of Edinborough.

The names on Meghan's American drivers license or her kids American birth certificates is pretty irrelevant -- literally no one cares but you. Both her kids were christened with the last name Mountbatten-Windsor, but in keeping with other members of the royal family in similar situations, they choose not to use it as a family name, likely because it's so formal and long. Sussex is succinct and makes sense so that's what their family uses.

The difference here is that Meghan legally owns a title, the Duchess of Sussex, and many other people who have had the titles Duke of and Duchess of have used the house name as their surname, so Meghan does as well. Whereas you are not a Princess and your name is not Diana. So what Meghan is doing is normal and in keeping with the traditions of her husband's family, whereas you calling yourself Princess Diana would be psychotic.

And again, I think that's what bothers you. Meghan is actually entitled to style herself as Meghan Sussex because she is, in fact, the Duchess of Sussex. Just as other members of that family have done for years. But you aren't entitled to do so because you aren't a Duchess. This obviously makes you very, very mad for some reason.

They *can* use it, but it is not their legal name, and correcting a well meaning person who accurately used her name and instructing her to call her by something else enitrely is very weird behavior.

Of course the name on her birth certificate and her kids' birth certificate matter- are you insane? This is exactly why so many people dont take MM supporters seriously. Do you even hear yourself?

As a fellow millennial close in age to Meghan it was actually kind of depressing

The beige thing goes way back to her influence by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who died in a plane crash with JFk Jr in 1998. Bessette Kennedy was known for wearing Calvin Klein inspired outfits in beige and black Her style was very influential . There are photos of Meghan doing exact copies of the outfits.

Sure, but "sad beige" is also a trend, or has been throughout the 2010s before Gen Zs started clowning on it. https://www.today.com/parents/family/sad-beige-rcna65116

It has been a hallmark of elder millennial style, the pared down, all white/brown/beige monochromatic thing, matching the similar all white/brown/beige kitchen. And what once seemed kind of chic, new and fresh, now looks incredibly dated and like a throwback to the mid 2010s, which was Meghan's heyday. Anyone who stays on top of trends knows that this kind of thing looks very out of date now and Gen Zs are always making fun of these stylistic choices. And for good reason- once you kind of pan out you realize how kind of ridiculous and overly stylized/ self conscious it often looks.

I don't personally think her style is dated. It reads more quiet luxury than sad beige.

With that being said, as a fellow millennial, I can appreciate Meghan sticking to her style rather than changing. As you get older you kind of learn what works for you and gain confidence to avoid overhauling your style every time trends change. She's in ankle jeans and a button down, it's not like she's in a J. Crew bubble necklace or something extremely dated.

I also do think this is one of those areas where she would never win and if she tried something excessively trendy she'd be made fun of for trying too hard.

It is very dated though, and you being a millennial may blind you to that fact since it's a style you still enjoy. In the way that plenty of boomers will still walk around thinking their outfits from the 80s or 90s are really cool, when it dates them and gives away their "era".

Nothing wrong with having a personal style. But you can still update things, keep them fresh, and move with the times- or hire people to style you if you cant figure it out yourself. ESPECIALLY if youre going to position yourself as some kind of leader in the aspirational lifestyle industry. Most people dont want to be walking around wearing a style that is a good decade or so passe.

Please give detailed examples of how to “update” and “freshen” the aesthetic of the show. I would love to hear what is considered updated.

The show to me reads as blandly pleasant. It’s the entire curated concept of a lifestyle show that seems dated more so than the details like clothing.

Seriously. I don't understand how straight cut jeans and a button down are "dated." She just dresses like a normal rich mom, which she is. It's millennial because millennials are moms now.

LOL. That's because you are a millennial! Dont you get that? In the same way a boomer isnt going to understand how their look is dated either. There are plenty of hip looking rich moms, not everyone is wearing what was en vogue in 2015.

OK, but I see Gen Z in the Metro wearing pants cuts and sweater styles that my mom wore in 1985. It absolutely floors me. It legitimately looks like they took one of my mom's outfits from the Sears Cheryl Tiegs catalogue.

I'm sure our resident Stacy London here will have an explanation shortly about how that's chic but Meghan's Cartier watch screams nouveau riche and millennial or some shit, idk.

Stacy London? Damn. Talk about dated references... you must be over 40.

DP Are you experiencing a midlife crisis? What is with the hyper fixation on things being dated?

I missed the memo where you can't even make an older reference lol.

I'm not, but you appear to be going through one whenever anyone points out (rightfully) that your clothing and references are dated. What's wrong with that? You're allowed to proudly walk around in your millennial page and have everyone able to pin your age, in the same way a 65 year old woman can waltz around in their QVC comfort sweatshirt and not be surprised that people pin her for being a grandma. You speak and dress with a very distinctive time/era/middle aged vibe. What's the issue?

I think there is a lot more than a comfort sweatshirt that would pin someone as a grandma.

You’re hilariously fixated on this. Are you one of those people who actually reads those ads that tell you things like stop carrying around a bag at a certain age and takes them to heart?

No, just someone who has a bare minimum ability to observe fashion trends and generational tendencies. That's why it's so amusing watching you crash out- you really thought there was nothing dated about your skinny jeans and ballet boots, and cannot stand to have someone point out that your style is passe now. Are you one of those people who genuinely believed that they could pass for ten years younger?

Writing all this and accusing someone else of crashing out is insaneeeeeeeee

It's the truth! Y'all wouldn't be going on and on and on and trying to defend yourselves and arguing that chambray is still cool for pages if you werent crashing out. That's what a crash out is, my love.

No one has argued that chambray was cool! You are the only one mentioning chambray shirts!

Yes someone was mad about chambray shirts being brought up, lol. I'm sure they thought they looked *very* hip and avant garde in their chambray

It matters where you are too. Chambray is preppy, timeless California casual.

it's really not. Chambray is super dated, especially in the styles that were popular for millennials.

Jeans and button downs have been around forever. They are classic and there’s nothing wrong with that. Not everyone feels the need to be dressed on the cusp of fashion every day. You’re ridiculous.

But if you insist, you can find a chambray button down at The Row right now for $1350.00.

You speak and dress with a very distinctive time/era/middle aged vibe. What's the issue?

I think there is a lot more than a comfort sweatshirt that would pin someone as a grandma.

You’re hilariously fixated on this. Are you one of those people who actually reads those ads that tell you things like stop carrying around a bag at a certain age and takes them to heart?

No, just someone who has a bare minimum ability to observe fashion trends and generational tendencies. That's why it's so amusing watching you crash out- you really thought there was nothing dated about your skinny jeans and ballet boots, and cannot stand to have someone point out that your style is passe now. Are you one of those people who genuinely believed that they could pass for ten years younger?

Writing all this and accusing someone else of crashing out is insaneeeeeeeee

It's the truth! Y'all wouldn't be going on and on and on and trying to defend yourselves and arguing that chambray is still cool for pages if you werent crashing out. That's what a crash out is, my love.

No one has argued that chambray was cool! You are the only one mentioning chambray shirts!

Yes someone was mad about chambray shirts being brought up, lol. I'm sure they thought they looked *very* hip and avant garde in their chambray

It matters where you are too. Chambray is preppy, timeless California casual.

it's really not. Chambray is super dated, especially in the styles that were popular for millennials.

Jeans and button downs have been around forever. They are classic and there’s nothing wrong with that. Not everyone feels the need to be dressed on the cusp of fashion every day. You’re ridiculous.

But if you insist, you can find a chambray button down at The Row right now for $1350.00.

Yeah, but the particular millenial chambray with skinny jeans look is extremely dated, not classic anymore. And there's nothing wrong with that, but that's how it goes. I'm sorry you thought you looked cool in this outfit https://www.tiktok.com/@sideofsequins/video/7345621987793833258

Isn't her legal name Rachel Markle? Megan is her middle name. That's not really cosplaying.

The point is her legal name is not actually Sussex as was claimed in a huge moment on the show.

She didn't make any claim about her legal name, she just stated that she identifies as "Sussex" not Markle. And then provided an explanation as to why. The fact that some of you are flipping out about this says much more about you than her.

I don't even think it was a "huge moment" on the show. It was a very brief conversation. YOU have made it a huge moment because for some reason it's very important to you that Meghan be forced to use her maiden name forever even if she doesn't want to, which is deranged.

But it's not her maiden name, lol. It's her current legal name, and the name of her kids as well. They have "Markle" on their birth certificate. At no point did she ever change their name to Sussex, which would be very bizarre considering it's no one's legal name in the family.

It is definitively her maiden name. Some women keep their maiden name. It sounds like Meghan does not want to keep hers but that there may be an issue with what she changes it to because the naming conventions in her husband's family are weird.

But I don't think it would be "bizarre" in that situation to simply legally change everyone's last name to Sussex.

This is actually a relatable problem to me because I had issues with my name when I got married and it was also hard to get people to call me by my new name (hyphenated) because people are stubborn and weird. The whole thing winds up being political and annoying when, hello, it's my name and you should call me what I tell you my name is. I did ultimately change my name legally but it took a while and in the meantime, I 100% expected people to call me by my newly adopted name, not my maiden name. So I'm totally on Meghan's side here. It is not some "gotcha" that her chosen name may not be her legal name. That's paperwork. Call people what they ask to be called or GTFO.

In any case, it is her current name, and the current name of her children. There is no legal precedent for her to change her name to Sussex. Of course she could, in the same way I could march down to the courthouse and change mine to Sussex. But it would be pretty bizarre of both myself and MM to do that considering it's not our legal name in any sense.

No, it would be normal for the Duchess of Sussex to change her and her kid's legal US names to Sussex as a way to simplify their names. People often make choices like this when navigating marital name conflicts or immigration naming issues.

It would be totally deranged for you to do so, as you are not the Duchess of Sussex.

I think this is why you are so mad, actually.

Considering that Sussex is NOT a last name and the name of a geographical area, yes it would be pretty deranged. But yeah, maybe everyone should just change their name to it and we can all have a good laugh.

I'm sorry you are so very wrong. Here is Debretts, the British experts on etiquette and convention within the British aristocracy, on the matter:

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex can, and do, use the ‘surname’ Sussex. This is in line with the time when Prince Harry used Wales as his surname whilst serving in the army, to reflect that he was the son of the (then) Prince of Wales. Now that he is the Duke of Sussex, his wife and children can, and do, use Sussex as a surname."

https://debretts.com/royal-family/the-royal-family/the-royal-surname/

Meghan and Harry are part of the British royal family who do not, traditionally, even have last names. However in recent centuries they have created surnames from house names -- Windsor and Mountbatten are both house names that were styled as the surname "Mountbatten-Windsor" for family members, for instance. Windsor is not technically a last name either, but the name of a place, just like Sussex. And yet it is a surname used by family members for some time now.

Harry and his brother both used Wales as a surname in school and in the military. Williams kids now you Wales as their surname at school. Sophie has used the name Essex as a surname since she was Duchess of Essex, and is still sometimes referred to as Sophie Essex in the press even though technically she is now the Duchess of Edinborough.

The names on Meghan's American drivers license or her kids American birth certificates is pretty irrelevant -- literally no one cares but you. Both her kids were christened with the last name Mountbatten-Windsor, but in keeping with other members of the royal family in similar situations, they choose not to use it as a family name, likely because it's so formal and long. Sussex is succinct and makes sense so that's what their family uses.

They *can* use it, but it is not their legal name, and correcting a well meaning person who accurately used her name and instructing her to call her by something else enitrely is very weird behavior.

Of course the name on her birth certificate and her kids' birth certificate matter- are you insane? This is exactly why so many people dont take MM supporters seriously. Do you even hear yourself?

Do you hear YOURself? They can and do use it. Meghan has not gone by Markle for 7 years, since she got married. Which includes the entire time she has known Mindy. Meghan does not introduce herself that way. She does not refer to herself or her kids that way. It might still be a name on her birth certificate and some of her kid's documents might have that name on it for legal reasons because they live in the US, but she has never, not even once, referred to them as Markle and she stopped referring to herself that way when she got married.

And yet you think it's normal and find for someone to apply a name to her that she hasn't used in 7 years, a name that is at this point ONLY used by tabloid media, and that Meghan should be required to simply ignore it and accept it and not (politely!) correct her friend by explaining that she uses a different surname now and kindly provide the explanation that it is important to her to share a family name with her husband and kids?

But okay, I'm insane. Whatever.

Meghan HAS gone by Markle and STILL DOES!!! It's literally her legal name! It's also the legal name of her kids... if she had wanted to go by Sussex or had been actively going by Sussex, she would have given them that last name at birth. Maybe she didnt because if she did that while living in Britain while still ensconced in the RF they would have laughed her out of town!

That is her name, whether she likes it or not. She has no claim to Sussex more than any other random person.

The fact that this poster is still on here. The rest of us come and go but she has been here since at least 7:30 screaming about Meghan using Sussex as a last name and when people didn't engage the way she wanted she resorted to calling individual posters fat/ugly/stupid and then threatening to get DCUM itself brigaded.
